Travel Therapy Salary in Rhode Island

ProTherapy currently has 8 travel therapy openings in Rhode Island, which is too few in any one discipline to report a median. Advertised weekly rates on those assignments: travel PTA 3 ($1,460–$1,820); travel PT 2 ($2,340–$2,480); travel SLP 2 ($2,130–$2,540); travel OT 1 ($2,390–$2,390).
Because these are small counts, treat them as the range actually on offer in Rhode Island right now rather than as a settled rate for the state. For a figure with more assignments behind it, the national medians below cover every open ProTherapy contract in that discipline.
All figures are advertised weekly gross pay on ProTherapy travel contracts — the rate before taxes, inclusive of any housing and meal stipends in the package. They describe ProTherapy’s own open assignments, not a survey of the whole Rhode Island market, and they move as contracts fill. Updated 2026-11-08.
